NHTSA Complaint #11269806 — 2015 RAM 1500

I AM WRITING THIS FOR MY ELDERLY FATHER. HE HAS A 2015 RAM 1500 DIESEL PICK UP TRUCK THAT FALLS UNDER THE ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT (CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT). MY DAD HAD THE APPROVED EMISSIONS MODIFICATION (AEM) THAT WAS REQUIRED TO UPDATE THE EMISSIONS CONTROL SOFTWARE ON MAY 28, 2019. AFTER THE AEM COMPLETED BY THE DEALER, THE TRUCK HAD THROTTLE ISSUES. WHEN MY DAD PUSHED THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY LAG TO THE POINT OF NOT ACCELERATING. THIS IS A **CONTINUOUS** AND DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT WAS CAUSED BY THE FACTORY SUPPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATE. MY DAD MADE A COMPLAINT TO THE DEALER THREE HOURS AFTER THE AEM WAS UPDATED ON 5/28/19. HE ALSO COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 6, 7, 8 2019 AND ON MANY OTHER OCCASIONS. THEY TELL HIM IT COULD TAKE 6 MONTHS TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE FACTORY "FIX" HAS NOW CREATED A DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE DEALER EITHER CAN'T OR WON'T FIX IT. MANY PEOPLE HAVE APPARENTLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER TO WHERE THE DEALER IS NOW ADVISING VEHICLE OWNERS TO NOT INSTALL THE FACTORY AEM "FIX". THE DEALER TELLS MY DAD THAT FACTORY/CORPORATE IS WORKING ON A FIX.
